Overview

What if your CT could address the needs of all your patients, even the challenging ones? What if your CT could help you deliver clinical excellence across all of your departments?

It’s time for a Revolution.

RevolutionTM CT delivers uncompromised image quality and clinical capabilities through the convergence of coverage, spatial and temporal resolution – all in one system. It is the CT designed to help you deliver revolutionary and differentiated capabilities across all of your clinical areas.

GSI Xtream

Volume. Spectral. Simplified.Introducing GSI Xtream on RevolutionTM CT,1 the first volume spectral CT technology designed to improve small lesion detection, tissue characterization and metal artifact reduction, with a simplified workflow you can make part of your daily practice. The entire GSI experience has been enhanced from scanning to reconstruction to visualization. Enabled by innovations such as GemstoneTM Clarity detector, volume coverage and fast kV switching, only GE can deliver this breakthrough.GSI Xtream helps you diagnose disease with more confidence, which could ultimately put patients on the right treatment path sooner.

GSI Xtream Introduction Video

Volume Spectral CT faster than the blink of an eye2GSI Xtream extends our uncompromised Revolution CT platform with its wide collimation and 50 cm FOV to deliver the only volume spectral CT. Enabled by ultrafast kV switching, you can scan more challenging patients and reduce the effects of motion. The GemstoneClarity detector combined with ASiR-VTM delivers dose neutral exams for patients of any size.3 See the whole picture with volume spectral CT.

Go beyond dual energy with Spectral CTWhat you see with spectral CT will redefine what you expect from your CT scanner. Material density images go beyond visualizing anatomy to characterizing tissues, which allows you to see the difference between similar HU densities such as cysts or enhancing lesions. With a contrast-to-noise ratio 60 percent higher than single energy CT at 120 kV, monochromatic images improve lesion detection and enhance contrast.4 And GSI MAR reduces metal artifacts while maintaining spatial resolution, so you can see around challenging metal implants.

Simplified workflow you won’t even noticeThe best workflow is almost invisible and supports you from behind the scenes to help you complete the important work you do every day. From setup to post processing, GSI Xtream is as intuitive as a single energy exam. GSI Assist and Clinical ID help standardize and automate protocol selection with images directly transferred to PACS and/or AW. These improvements, combined with native GSI reconstruction, deliver spectral CT workflow that’s twice as fast.5

Solutions

Smart Technologies is a suite of intelligent CT tools designed to help you achieve your imaging goals with improved efficiency and expanded applications, including stroke, poly-trauma and cardiac CT, all while delivering diagnostic confidence with lower levels of radiation.

Smart DoseIntelligent technology designed to help you acquire high-quality images using lower doses of radiation, contributing to more accurate diagnoses and lower exposures for patients.

RevolutionTM CT features the latest Smart Dose Technologies designed to help you acquire high quality images using lower doses of radiation. Smart Dose Technologies contribute to a more accurate diagnosis and lower exposure for patients across routine and advanced exams, including dynamic acquisitions for perfusion and 4D studies.

Key Smart Dose Technologies include:

Integrated ASiR-VTM — This reconstruction technology is designed to deliver reduced noise levels, improve low-contrast detectability and routinely reduce dose up to 82% for patients of all ages1.

Organ Dose Modulation — The system can also automatically modulate X-rays to reduce dose to radiation sensitive organs and anatomical areas such as the eyes and the breasts without compromising image quality.

Pediatric Imaging — Pediatric patients experience sedation free, minimal breath holds at a very low dose. Whole abdomen and pelvis scanning can be accomplished in less than one second.

70 kV Scanning — This enables the capability for low dose protocols, which are especially suitable for pediatric imaging.

Smart Patient Centering — This feature helps to detect sub-optimal centering prior to the diagnostic scan. When the scout is acquired, the system will assess patient centering and suggest table movement to accomplish this.

DoseWatchTM— Named AuntMinnie 2015 Best New Radiology Software, DoseWatch is a web-based, cloud-deployed solution to track, analyze and report practice-level dose data.

Smart Flow Systems designed to help you improve productivity by streamlining user workflow and access to information.

Welcome to the new Clarity Operator Environment. We took cues from the consumer devices you enjoy using every day and integrated them into a totally new, yet familiar user interface experience. Using the latest in Smart Flow Technologies, the new Revolution CT Clarity Operator Environment will provide you with more intuitive, guided acquisition workflow to simplify scan setup and enable more consistency across scans.

Smart Flow Technologies allow you to:

Adapt to the needs of your patients by adding or deleting an exam series with protocol cart.

Gain quick access to exams from multiple patients with tabbed workflows and receive user alerts when all tasks are complete.

Eliminate the need for additional cables by using the integrated ECG module.

Scan up to 200 cm with a table capacity up to 675 lbs. and an 80 cm bore, enabling access to a wider range of patients.

Smart KidsDeliver better care at a lower dose.

With Revolution CT, pediatric patients experience sedation free, minimal breath holds at a very low dose. Whole abdomen and pelvis scanning can be accomplished in less than one second.

70 kV scanning enables the capability for low dose protocols, which are especially suitable for pediatric imaging. Design features such as soft ambient lighting and a patient centric bore pattern create a calming effect. The Adventure Series,TM offered as an option, immerses patients in an underwater journey or jungle adventure with themed rooms to help distract them from the procedure.

Smart CardiacInventive technology that assists you in quickly setting up complex cardiac procedures reliably and repeatedly.

With Revolution CT, you can capture the whole heart in a single beat, in high definition, with motion-free coronary images at any heart rate. One-beat acquisition for calcium scoring, coronary imaging or comprehensive cardiac assessment can be achieved with or without beta blockers.

Smart TraumaBe prepared for the unpredictable with a comprehensive suite of dedicated trauma tools for patient setup, scanning and image review.

Revolution CT was designed for rapid trauma assessment. Smart Trauma Technologies help you to improve the quality and workflow of poly-trauma and/or whole body CT scans through dedicated trauma protocols, prioritized workflow and minimal breath holds.
